It is actually possible for postfix and the system to use different
resolvers.  But it is not a default.

Most software distributions package postfix configured to run in a
chroot.  That makes it possible for the chroot'd postfix to have a
different /etc/resolv.conf configuration than the rest of the system.
It is possible to set up postfix to use a local caching resolving that
has no restrictions while the rest of the system uses one of the
public resolvers.  But it would be a local customization needed to do
it.  The distro package init scripts copy resolv.conf into the
chroot.  Prevent that and apply your own setting.
